Hi @biyyala,

the error message tells you, that two clients with the same UserId can't join the same room. You shouldn't set this one at all. It is handled internally. Instead of using the UserId, try using the NickName property. You can access it locally by using PhotonNetwork.player.NickName.

Please refer to the Matchmaking Checklist for help on this.

If a client wants to get back into a game (after dropping out), use RejoinRoom or better: ReconnectAndRejoin.

@TobiasYa thanks but I don't want to connect with user id, For me it is now connecting to same user id with different devices.

@TobiasOk sir, I have one game and in that logged in with some xxxx mobile number and also logged in with same xxxx number in another device, So while i start the game the same mobile number is connecting to the same mobile number. In my game it should not happen like that.

If you use JoinRandomRoom, it will automatically prevent users from joining the same room multiple times. So if any client's userID is already present in a fitting room, JoinRandomRoom will pick another room.

Overall, you might want to avoid using the same userID from multiple devices. It makes a lot of cases tricky and somewhat breaks the idea of being able to identify a user (by unique userID).
